I broke down and also got the oem cargo cover lol. I want the center console armrest too but fought the urge for now since we do have the regular armrest. Maybe some darker tint for the back end next

The car stereo shop I use installed a USA Spec BT35 bluetooth adapter today. And for those of you in the Tri-Valley area, I can't recommend Billy Peavey at United Car Stereo in Dublin highly enough. I've been doing business with him for 10 years and he does a great job.

edit: washed it too

Allow me to be a douche for a sec...Technically any seat designed to hold just one person is a bucket seat, so the front seats in the Fit are already bucket seats. Those look good tho! How do you like them? And they work with the stock seat belts right?

I'd love to get some more comfortable seats for the Fit. After a couple hours of driving I *have* to get up and stretch, or my back is done.

Had the same hole when I relocated my license plate, however it's not a big deal and can be fixed in 10 mins. I filled mine with bonding putty or bondo, sanded and painted/clear coat. Easy peazzey

First try this and also put two to three washers on the front seat bolts to raise the front of the seat.

I had a similar setup in my cavi. The pedal is no problem, and its not really the height of the seat. Just the materials and shape of the thing.

Just took my rear seats out. Goin for a drive in a bit. I'd say from carrying the seats that it's an ~80 lb weight savings. Hopefully it was worth it and feels a little lighter from behind the wheel. Little better mileage could never hurt either...

Haha. It's never more than my girlfriend and me in the car, so I figure why not? Plus if anyone sat in the back the rear springs would get noisy. After driving the car with the seats out I like it. Can def tell the difference. Car raised up a bit, might have to take the second collar out on the back

I would weigh that to check. 80 lbs sounds like a lot for a back seat. The whole thong in my cavi weighed something like 30 pounds with all the trim removed, too.
